ABSTRACT

Abstract: In this chapter we analyze the experience gained in the UK e-voting pilots in the implementation of the e-electoral register of voters. After theoretically establishing the need for an e-register, based on the analysis of the evaluation reports provided and direct observation undertaken in one of the pilots, we describe the systems used and identify the different organizational and technical issues that arose. Accordingly, we highlight lessons learned and the need for knowledge sharing between government agencies, to support the successful deployment of future e-voting schemes.
